Its high efficiency, precision control and low noise make it an ideal choice for air circulation systems.
[0003] In the existing solutions, the control solutions for EC fans are generally implemented based on FAN CONTROL modules. Since FAN CONTROL modules are imported modules with high prices, the application cost of the corresponding control solutions is high. At the same time, when EC fans are controlled based on FANCONTROL modules, the number of fans that can be controlled is limited.

[0041] Embodiment 2:
[0042] This example further provides a priority solution based on the solution in embodiment 1.
[0043] Combination Figures 2 to 5 As shown, in this example, two identical heat dissipation components 9 are provided, and the two heat dissipation components 9 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the PLC control electric box 2. By providing two heat dissipation components 9, the two heat dissipation components 9 cooperate with each other, and the fans 908 of the two heat dissipation components 9 are started to extract and supply air respectively, forming an air duct to increase the air flow rate inside the PLC control electric box 2, thereby preventing the internal overheating of the PLC control electric box 2.

The two heat dissipation components 9 cooperate with each other, and the fans 908 of the two heat dissipation components 9 are started to extract and supply air respectively, forming an air duct to increase the air flow rate inside the PLC control box 2 to avoid overheating inside the PLC control box 2. The filter plate 902 effectively isolates the dust in the air and has a certain dust-proof effect. After the heat dissipation component 9 is used for a long time, dust is easily attached to the surface of the filter plate 902. The motor 903 is started to drive the screw rod 904 to rotate. The rotation of the screw rod 904 drives the threaded brush 906 to move along the slide rod 905. The bristles of the brush 906 contact the filter plate 902 to sweep the dust off, and the dust falls into the dust collection drawer 910, which is convenient for centralized cleaning and has a good cleaning effect.
[0049] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
